In Teufels Namen
Everybody knows that Germany loves heavy metal. Less widely known but equally true is that Germany also loves industrial metal and has effectively kept the genre alive over the last few decades. For most of the world, RAMMSTEIN remain the benchmark, but MEGAHERZ are also a pretty big deal in their n...August 9, 2023

My Enemies Look And Sound Like Me
We know where we stand with WEREWOLVES at this point. Their agenda has been one of seething misanthropy, bilious hatred and wild, bug-eyed disdain from the start. On 2020's furious debut "The Dead Are Screaming", they sang fondly of "Beating Those We Despise". A year later, sophomore opus "What A Ti...August 9, 2023

All Of This For Nothing
For those who haven't yet had the pleasure, THE CRAWLING are the best bad time you will ever have. Defiantly morbid and perpetually tormented by the very concept of existence, they have established their own uniquely grim strain of death/doom metal across two excellent full-length albums. They also...August 3, 2023

Reborn In Flames
When it comes to heavy metal credentials, Chris Boltendahl has more than most. As vocalist with GRAVE DIGGER, the German veteran has spent four decades propagating an ethos of unashamed blood 'n' thunder. From seminal debut "Heavy Metal Breakdown" (1984) to last year's excellent "Symbol Of Eternity"...July 25, 2023

Conflagrations
There is a lot to admire in bands that only emerge from the shadow when they have something to say. One of the most inventive and characterful bands to operate under the progressive death metal banner (whether they like it or not),  RANNOCH have only released two albums and one EP in the last de...July 19, 2023

Morgöth Tales
Despite emerging from the well-populated thrash metal explosion of the mid-'80s, VOIVOD never sounded remotely like anyone else. Courtesy of the late, great Denis "Piggy" D'Amour, even the band's first few records were defiant in their refusal to rely on the same musical tropes that everyone else wa...July 18, 2023

By David E. Gehlke Jeremy Spencer's first post-FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH foray, PSYCHOSEXUAL, admittedly went over everyone's heads.

Position | Momentum
If 2020's "The Eye Is The First Circle" was a concise act of scabby-lipped catharsis, "Position | Momentum" is what happens when the waves of vitriol never stop. CALLIGRAM continue to make some of the most vicious, black metal-adjacent music around, and when "Sul Dolore" erupts, it's instantly appar...July 14, 2023
